This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I think only you can decide that. But isn't the US National Anthem played? Doesn't the flag get displayed? Would you play in the US team if you were a professional football player knowing that you are representing the nation?

Note that we aren't going to abide by some religious dogma. I would be okay with cheering Jesse Owens at the Olympics, for example (not for the US, but for him). But the fact that the US is hosting the games does change the moral calculus a bit.

Yeah I mean the whole World Cup is a pretty hideous and outdated display of nationalism. But I also really enjoy sports in the case of football how it does still genuinely reflect working class culture despite being horribly commercialized.
